Everyone loves a bit o'bling

Decided, while I was super bored, to decorate my nails with a bit of bling :)

Nowhere near as good as these but maybe with a bit more practice, I'll become #amezballs at it, haha :p

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good bye

Today was my last day at work, I've been there for nearly 2 years. The longest I've ever worked anywhere since being 16! (I get itchy feet far too easily and have to move on).

As well as being able to finish early my lovely work friends got me a few surprise gifts, I really wasn't expecting them. Have to say, I did have a tear in my eye ;(

My lovely flowers! I've never, ever been given flowers before, it is so sweet :) I love the yellow Roses!

I love the fact that so much thought was put into my gifts...I got some wool and some bamboo needles, books of knitting and jewellery, little bits to make jewellery, a cute little ladybird mirror and some Haribo, Kinder Eggs and Chocolate Buttons...omnomnomnom they'll go down nicely!

Frizz free and silky smooth

After a slight accident, where I may have dyed my hair orange, I had to have it bleached to within an inch of it's life! And well it's now feeling rather sorry for itself and looking a little dry :(
Remember kids, going from Brunette to Blonde at home never ends well.

So I am now on a mission to make my hair super moisturised! As well as using my V05 Miracle Concentrate and Moroccan Hair Oil I treated myself to these little beauties...

I've never really been a big fan of John Frieda after using their Frizz Ease Serum and finding it made my hair lank and greasy. But after scouring the shelves of Boots I thought I'd give them another try.

First is Full Repair Deep Infusion serum...

It is supposed to 'Silken & Protect', call me sceptical but I always find this a bit of a claim! The product itself is rather watery and runny nothing like the thick Frizz Ease Serum. The bottle says to apply to wet hair and basically use sparingly. My hair is shoulder length and I use two pumps of this and find it doesn't make my hair greasy, but then again I swear my hair just sucks up moisture! I'm also a bit of a rebel and use it on dry hair ;o
Since using this I've noticed my hair is less brittle and dry looking and it also helps to control the frizz and any split ends. Out of 10 I give this product a rather good 8/10 :) I'm defiantly going to be purchasing it again!

Next is Full Repair Deep Conditioner...

Now I've been using this every time I wash my hair and have noticed a massive difference! I only wash my hair about 2-3 times a week (such a minga, I know :p) so can get away with it this often. But you could easily get away with using it just once a week for a moisturising boost.
It's described as 'intense repairing formula, with lightweight Inca Inchi Oil (?!), penetrates deep and repairs the look and feel of over styled hair, reducing the risk of breakage'. Whatever Inca Inchi Oil is it must be good stuff!
The product itself is quite a thin consistency, not thick and heavy like most conditioning treatments. My only criticism is the smell, it really reminds me of old ladies perfume...luckily it doesn't linger on your hair! I give this 6/10, I have used other deep conditioner which I do prefer like Lee Stafford one's but I am impressed at how different my hair feels just after a few uses and would recommend it :)
